Reviews

The first such extensive overview drawn heavily from available scholarly literature, this interpretive textbook makes a very plausible case for reconsidering the anthropological and historical relationship between Africa and Europe within a framework that avoids preoccupation with race and color, rejects a division of Africa into Sub-Saharan and Northern, and discounts the Mediterranean as a significant boundary between the two continents.
